What is kryddmått?

A Scandinavian culinary term!

Kryddmått is a Swedish and Norwegian word that roughly translates to "spice measure" or "herb measure". In cooking, it refers to the amount of spices, herbs, or seasonings needed for a particular recipe.

In traditional Scandinavian cuisine, specific measurements of spices like salt, pepper, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. were often specified in recipes using units such as "kryddmått" instead of more modern measurement systems like grams or milliliters.

The term kryddmått is still used today, particularly in traditional Swedish and Norwegian cookbooks and recipes that have been passed down through generations.
